Incidence of some tuber diseases like, dry rot, silver scurf, common scab and black scurf were monitored. Considering the results, Brasovia variety is very sensitive to common scab (15.13%) but resistant to silver scurf (2.25%), meanwhile Christian variety is resistant to common scab (3%) and does not show any resistance to silver scurf (64,38%). To dry rot the most sensitive turned out to be the Asinaria variety (5.88%) and the least sensitive was the Sevastia variety (1.88%).
